Zerochol is a quick way to keep your cholesterol under control

American regulations stipulate: ‘Foods containing at least 0.4 g per serving of vegetable oil sterols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 0.8 g, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease’.
